It&#8217;s a tricky grape, though, and finding good affordable Pinot can be a challenge. So I tried six inexpensive Pinot Noirs on camera, and gave my robust, honest opinions of them.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CVD-SNyLUIA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><br \/>\n<strong>Mr Noir Pinot Noir 2016 South Australia<\/strong><br \/>\n14% alcohol<br \/>\n\u00a311.99 Virgin Wines<br \/>\nVery fresh and supple with a sappy edge to the sweet cherry and raspberry fruit. It&#8217;s ripe and generous, but also has some nice complexity. Pretty, drinkable and really delicious, this delivers a lot of fun. 90\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Olivier Dubois Pinot Noir 2015 Vin de France<\/strong><br \/>\n12.5% alcohol<br \/>\n\u00a38.99 Majestic Wine<br \/>\nRipe and balanced, with an appealing spicy, savoury, stony mineral edge. There&#8217;s appealing raspberry fruit with nice weight and good supporting structure. Pretty convincing stuff. 87\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tesco Finest Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2016 Australia<\/strong><br \/>\n13.5% alcohol<br \/>\n\u00a311 Tesco<br \/>\nThis is delicious: it has a rounded, spicy, slightly savoury personality, with a touch of forest floor and some juicy raspberry and cherry fruit. There&#8217;s a hint of cedar, too. Nicely balanced with a mix of sweet and savoury elements. 89\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hans Baer Pinot Noir 2016 Pfalz, Germany<\/strong><br \/>\n12% alcohol<br \/>\n\u00a37 Tesco<br \/>\nFresh and bright with a lovely green, sappy, leafy edge to the fresh cherry fruit. This is juicy and easy with the herbal notes meshing well with the sweet fruit. Just so drinkable, with a hint of sweetness helping carry the savoury notes. 88\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concha y Toro Corte Marcelo Pinot Noir 2016 Limari Valley, Chile<\/strong><br \/>\n14% alcohol<br \/>\n\u00a38.50 The Wine Society<br \/>\nRed clay soil with calcareous subsoil, 30 km from the coast. This is fresh and direct with a juicy raspberry and cherry fruit core as well as some savoury, cedary notes. There&#8217;s a nice weight to the fruit here, with some fine dried herb and ginger spice characters, and it&#8217;s more than just bright fruit. 89\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8216;PinotPinot&#8217; Pinot Noir 2016 South East Australia<\/strong><br \/>\n13.5% alcohol<br \/>\n\u00a38.50 Oddbins<br \/>\nThis is really soft and textured with a lovely smooth mouthfeel. It has fresh cherries and some stewed raspberries, with a really easy, enticing personality. Smashable. 88\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pinot Noir is one of my very favourite grape varieties.
